Calacatta Crystal

Calacatta Crystal | White Stone with Bold Grey and Golden Veins for Feature Walls and Book-matched Slabs

Calacatta Crystal is considered for projects with a light background and striking veins. The name “Calacatta” refers to a well-known look in which a white background meets bold, dramatic veining, making the stone the centrepiece of the design.

Colour and Appearance

In the photos of this product, Calacatta Crystal has a white, bright background with wide grey and beige-to-golden veins and bands. In places these veins surround areas of white like islands, creating a dynamic, dramatic pattern that is best seen on large slabs.

Every slab has a different pattern, so selection should be based on a full image, vein direction and the project’s layout plan.

Book-matching and Continuous Layouts

Matching Calacatta slabs make book-matched or continuous layouts possible, where veins mirror or flow across two or more adjacent slabs. For this, consecutive slabs from the same block should be sourced, numbered and checked before cutting.

Applications

• Feature walls and interior slabs: the stone’s most important use.
• TV walls and lobbies.
• Interior floors and stairs in luxury spaces.
• Wall cladding, and facades where conditions allow.

Calacatta Crystal is supplied as slabs and tiles, with registered finishes of honed and pre-cut. Honed has a natural matte look and shows scratches less.
